[Closed] Current Solaris Max - opinions ?

I am hovering over the basket for one of these in full build gold package. Always liked Cotic and used to have a 2nd gen Soul 26.

Being a shade under 5ft10 the medium looks bang on and geo very close to my Large Levo SL.

Bike will be used for winter trail riding, bikepacking and coaching. I use the ebike for everything else off road.

I currently have a Merlin Sensa Merano Evo Race HT, which is ok for all the stuff I’d use the Solaris for but it doesn’t really excite and will be easy to sell come Autumn when the Cotic would arrive.

Keen for opinions from those who have ridden the Solaris.
